Capsular Polysaccharide Production in Bacteria of the Mycoplasma Genus: A Huge Diversity of Pathways and Synthases for So‐Called Minimal Bacteria

ABSTRACT Mycoplasmas are wall‐less bacteria with many species spread across various animal hosts in which they can be pathogenic. Despite their reduced anabolic capacity, some mycoplasmas are known to secrete hetero‐ and homopolysaccharides, which play a role in host colonization through biofilm for...
